MB Recalls Cars In China


In an announcement last week, Mercedes Benz’ China arm has declared that they would be recalling Mercedes Benz S-Class W/V221 units. These units would be those that were manufactured from October to November last year. The company has stated that they are looking at around 1,483 MB S-Class sedans.

The reason for the recall? According to Mercedes Benz, they have found out that when the sedans get too exposed to moisture, the Signal Acquisition and Actuation Module (SAM) which can be found inside the vehicle’s engine compartment could actually act up and would go invalid. With that, the vehicle’s headlamps, wipers, and corner lamps would start to malfunction. This is according to the car maker’s papers that were filed at the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Those who would be sending their units back to Mercedes Benz would not need worry about any fees because the car maker would be doing the repair free of charge.
